Climate action planninga guide to creating low-carbon, resilient communities /[electronic resource] :by Michael R. Boswell, Adrienne I. Greve, Tammy L. Seale. - Washington, DC :Island Press/Center for Resource Economics :2019. - x, 365 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

Preface -- Climate Action Planning -- Creating a Framework for Community Action -- Community Engagement and Collaboration -- Greenhouse Gas Emissions Accounting -- Strategies for Creating Low-Carbon Communities -- Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment -- Strategies for Resilient Communities -- Pathways to Successful Implementation -- Communities Leading the Way -- Time to Take Action -- Appendix A: Climate Science -- Appendix B: The Public Participation Program -- Additional Resources -- Notes -- Index.

Climate Action Planning is designed to help professionals working at local levels to develop and implement plans to mitigate a community's greenhouse gas emissions and increase the resilience of communities against climate change impacts. This fully revised and expanded edition goes well beyond climate action plans to examine the mix of policy and planning instruments available to every community. Climate Action Planning brings in new examples of implemented projects to highlight what has worked and the challenges that remain. A completely new chapter on vulnerability assessment will help each community to identify their greatest risks and opportunities. Sections on land use and transportation have been expanded to reflect their growing contribution to greenhouse gas emissions. The guidance in the book is put in context of international, national, and state mandates and goals. Climate Action Planning is the most comprehensive book on the state of the art, science, and practice of local climate action planning. It should be a first stop for any local government interested in addressing climate change.
